Day Three – Tangled Mind Tour

I got choked up by the review multitaskingmama left of Tangled Mind today. It’s wonderful when a reader gets exactly what you hoped to convey.

At A Novel Approach, I talk about my hatred of the Mars/Venus social construct and how it has influenced my writing.

Charlie Descoteaux wanted to know about the research that went into writing Tangled Mind, and there was a lot.

Seeking the Perfect Cover Photo

For weeks I’ve been looking through stock photo sites for animage to use on the cover of my next book.

Since then, he’s decided to shave his head bald and often hidesunder a fedora.

7 Days ’til Tangled Mind is Out

The countdown has begun. I’m sure that sounds melodramatic, but this story came to me in a rush the summer of 2013. That’sa long time. So yeah. I’m a little excited.

Now I’m stuck on the timing of when to sent it out, because I’m wondering if people preorder books or if they’d rather wait until the book is out.

So I created a quick survey. If you’d be so kind as to take a minute to answer 6 questions,...

Cold Feet and Christmas Food Favourites

I want to welcome a good friend and great writer to my blog today! Welcome back, Jay Northcote.

Hi, Posy.

Thank you so much for hosting me on your blog today :)

I’m here to introduce my Christmas novella, Cold Feet. For my post here I decided to focus on festive food.

My family’s Christmas dinner is pretty traditional for a UK Christmas meal. We have turkey for the meat eaters—but usually a turkey crown because half my family are veggies so we have a nut roast as well. That goes with roast potato...
